Vanheim - help wanted.

[Borg]

I just started up a new game and this time I want to play something completely different.
Something I haven't played before.
So ..........
This is the first time I'm going to play Vanheim (SP)
It's also the first time I will be using Blood Magic.
Which means ...... I really could use some pointers.

Orania map.
All nations in the game (except Ermor)
Win Condition : 10VP (out of a total of 20VP's)

Pretender : Frost Father F3 A3 W3 E1 B3 - research 24
Dominion : 6 - Water Cult
Scales : Order3 Cold2 Growth1 Misfortune2 Magic1
Building : Fortress
Points left : 0


My reasoning :
- I want to keep my Frost Father at home. Let him reasearch and do Blood Summons ( Ice Devils and Fire Devils sound promising from the manual)
- With some equipment he can give a Fire, Water, Air and Blood Bless to the holy troops.
- My first idea is to start researching Blood up to lvl3, to get some Devils and Frost Fiends, then start Construction up to the Powerfull Items to get the necessary Equipment for my mage and Devils ( can these already be used as SC's ? ) Then continue with Blood Magic.
Should I research something else as well ? What and why ?

Maybe I overdid the Misfortune 2 a bit, but with order 3, maybe it'll hold up ? Yes ?

I took Cold2 to get another 40pts, figuring in summer it'll heat up to Cold1 anyway , putting me in ideal conditions.

I would really appreciate some feedback from Vanheim and Blood specialists.
Thanks.
